[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6460) Attribute check-for-live-server must set on live server to faillback

Francisco Borges commented on AS7-6460:
---------------------------------------

My assumption is that the backup having newer data in a case like this is a "given assumption". @AndyTaylor and @Clebert, do you guys have any opinions?

Notice that when the backup "restarts" as a back, it will move its data to a "side" directory. So its "exclusive" data won't get deleted that easily.

> When there is live/backup pair with replicated journal then it should be sufficient to set attribute "check-for-live-server" in messaging subsystem only on backup to force backup server to shutdown when live server comes alive again. Problem is this won't happen.
> Only when attribute "check-for-live-server" is set on live server then failback is successful (backup shutdown itself)
> It's not well documented where "check-for-live-server" should be set in HornetQ project documentation:
> http://docs.jboss.org/hornetq/2.3.0.CR1/docs/user-manual/html_single/index.html#ha.allow-fail-back
> This issue was hit with EAP 6.1.0.DR2 (HQ 2.3.0.CR1).
